"What do you mean she's not dead?" Horton asked
incredulously before cursing out a long string of foul words and wishes "Why
can't they just damn well DIE when I kill them!?"
"I mean, Horton, you've failed, again." The woman replied,
her gaze showing her disappointment "For a man that has such a hatred over
another, you sure do have a habit of falling short of completing your
task. And now there's another that has slipped your grasp."
She paused a moment, letting that settle in, before she
continued "Now the idea of hurting him so has merit. I suggest you think
about a more... prosperous plan to that end and carry it out. How goes the
plan concerning the poor girl you're driving mad with possession?"
Horton smiled without humor "At the moment she's inside
the House, where I want her. I'll give her a moment of peace and then
start the 'visions' again."
The woman sat back and started to smile in evil
satisfaction. She wished she could see the look on Derek's face when the
plan was fully laid out and unfolding before them.
She just might have to make a concession about leaving her
place of power just to see it.
